The team behind the multi-million City Deal project are hoping to build some bridges with the communities surrounding the river Clyde.

A new £78 million crossing between Renfrew and either Yoker or Clydebank is next on the agenda - and you’re invited to have your say.

The leaders of West Dunbartonshire, Glasgow City and Renfrewshire councils have teamed up to talk locations, saying the new bridge will being ‘significant investment, jobs and transport benefits’ to the area.

According to Renfrewshire Council, it will be the Clyde’s only opening bridge, and will “increase potential for businesses to grow by improving connections with customers and suppliers.

“It will also enhance access to land which is currently underused or derelict, unlocking the potential for regeneration and new development.”

Communities in Renfrew, Paisley and Braehead have been consulted, and now it’s time for those on the north side of the river to see the plans, starting with Clydebank today, followed by Yoker next week.
